~-----from the Walnut Marketing Board Cook's Tip: To slice bell peppers, stand pepper on end; cut off 3-4 lengthwise slices, cutting close to but not through stem. Rinse any seeds out under running water. Place pepper pieces skin-side down on cutting board; cut into strips.--from a Treasury of Christmas Recipes, 1994 Submitted By NICK LA ROCCA On 11-25-94
